Reports on how the Chinese Communist Party takes organs from people imprisoned for spiritual beliefs win annual award for secular media coverage of religion.

An Epoch Times reporter will be honored in April for her work to expose communist China’s practice of harvesting organs from people imprisoned for their spiritual beliefs.

Eva Fu, who splits time between New York and Washington, was selected by the Religion Communicators Council (RCC) to receive a 2025 Wilbur Award. The award, given annually since 1949, is the top honor given by the organization. It’s meant to recognize the “most outstanding work in the communication of religious issues, values, and themes in secular media,” according to a March 14 press release.

Judges reviewed submissions from news organizations around the world, including a collection of Fu’s articles titled “Killing the Faithful for Organs: The Brutal Secret Beijing Doesn’t Want Exposed.”

“Many people in desperate need of organ transplants now visit China for surgery because waiting times are unusually short,” Fu wrote in a requested letter explaining why she pursues the topic so aggressively in her reporting.

“How many know their ready-to-transplant organs might be stolen from people imprisoned because of their spiritual beliefs? Surely, very few.”

Forced organ harvesting has been a closely guarded secret of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The Epoch Times has found that few around the world—with the exception of those involved—seem to understand that the regime’s supply of healthy organs for transplants often comes from imprisoned members of the spiritual discipline Falun Gong.

Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, is a meditation discipline based on the principles of truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance. It has been the subject of a relentless campaign by the CCP in an effort to eradicate the faith in China and beyond.

Victims of organ harvesting also often include other minorities who have been detained in China, such as Uyghurs, Tibetans, Muslims, and Christians.

Fu said the CCP doesn’t want the world to know, but she’s determined to keep drawing attention to the egregious human-rights offense.

The Epoch Times’ Editor-in-Chief Jasper Fakkert celebrated the award for Fu’s coverage.

“This is a great acknowledgement of our work exposing the atrocity of forced organ harvesting by the Chinese regime. Ms. Fu and our broader reporter team will continue to expose these crimes,” Fakkert said.
